Truvami presents innovative smart label at GITEX

Zurich-based truvami GmbH will be presenting its ambient light-powered smart label at the GITEX tech and start-up trade fair in Dubai from October 14 to 18. According to a press release, this innovative solution uses the Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) and organic photovoltaic technology (OPV) to enable precise indoor and outdoor localization and thus improve logistics and asset tracking applications.

In contrast to conventional labels, which require manual scanning, the smart label from truvami transmits location data and other important information such as temperature and vibration or movement independently to a cloud application via wireless communication, according to the press release. The particularly small smart label uses organic photovoltaic technology developed by the French deep-tech company Dracula Technologies in Valence. OPV cells, which are printed on a thin film, capture ambient light from their immediate surroundings and convert it into energy, making batteries superfluous.

The LoRaWAN-based tracker enables precise localization both indoors and outdoors. The technology developed jointly with the CSEM technology center in Neuchâtel achieves a positioning accuracy of several meters. The CSEM played a key role in improving the capabilities of the Smart Label.

The collaboration between CSEM, Dracula Technologies and truvami underlines the commitment to innovative, sustainable solutions in the tech industry. According to truvami, the smart label represents a significant advance in goods tracking technology. ce/gba
